Yup. Chocolate Sponge... I was going to use this recipe: Yule Log (Buche de Noel) Recipe - Joyofbaking.com *Tested Recipe*

It seems easy enough, and I have all the ingredients. I'm just...scared. I've never attempted to roll a cake before. :lol:

Cake rolling sounds dangerous. It should be an olympic sport.

I've never made one but it looks like fun and yummy!

It does sound dangerous, doesn't it?

Ohh i thought you had used pound as a currency - hence thinking you lived in europe haha. Silly me got myself confused xDD.

Ahh goodluck with the cake rolling, it's hard and you gotta make sure your cake is cooked perfectly, get the wrong texture and it crumbles LOL *has tryed before*.

Hmmm. I am making sweets for gifts. But, does it have to be edible? *eyebrow raise*

That's usually helpful Woody....

;) These look good enough to eat Carzee

Also Melody, YUM Buche de Noel. Those are fun to make!

Yes, it has to be edible. xD

Turns out we didn't have cream of tartar, so we're making the cake after the stores open today. I'm still nervous...but I can do this! *super lady pose*

Good luck!! :)
Think i might do strawberry reindeer cupcakes lol.

Those sound fun! lol.

I always love this contest, Mel. I'm baking goodies later so I'll be sure to enter. :heart:

Description: I realy don't have idea how to name it in english. Dictionary says that they are dumplings but actually they are not. In polish we call them pierogi and all my family members loves to eat them. It takes lot of time to make it last year I made about 1,7k piecies, this year a bit less. There is lot of kind stuffing for pierogi, I think that it can be made from everything xD vegetables, friust, meat, cheese ect

Pasta? It reminds me of those whatchamacallems.....That was totally unhelpful, wasn't it?

i'm making dinner tonight. will that count even if it doesn't look christmassy?

there is a christmas tradition for pasta isn't there? i've heard of some people have fettucini, I think, as a christmas dinner.

I must SO make time for this one. XD

Well, you just convinced me it's a drunken chicken night in my barracks room. I'll have an entry in the savory category later tonight.

Er...you can enter whatever you want, but looking festive will make it more likely to win?

Ooo - I've been in the baking/cooking spirit lately so I'll definitely have to enter this!
I wish I had known about this yesterday, though, because I made peppermint whoopie-pie cupcakes that were delicious and gorgeous, but they're all gone now so I can't take a pic of one with my name on it - I only have a pic of one without my name T_T;
If only I could add my name using the computerrr! LOL
Ah well - I'll figure something else out to enter! :D
